Standing By (Avi Kaplan fan fic)

Nine

It took me a moment to master the strength to even open my eyes after Avi withdrew his lips from my own. When I finally did, I found Avi still looking at me. His eyes full of doubt for a moment. I felt as if I could laugh and cry at the same time. But I didn't want to do either. I just wanted to lay here for the rest if eternity with Avi. I closed my arms around his neck and pressed my body against him. I buried my face in his chest as he nuzzled my neck, sending shivers cascading down my spine. "Will you?" Avi almost choked off of my hair. I smiled. I smiled for the first time in a long time. An actual smile. "I will." I felt Avi's body relax against mine. I realized that his whole body was stif with emotion, but the question he was in fear of asking is no longer a fear, but a success. I smiled into Avi's neck as we sat there in each other's arms. I felt at peace for ones in a long time. An I was going to enjoy it.

"Arlington Texas." Avi smiled as we walked down the concert side walk. Cars bustling along the road. I breathed in and smiled. The air was cool and smelt like summer. We're meeting up with the other three of Pentatonix and I have to say that I was completely nervous about the whole thing entirely. Wondering if they would like Avi's new girlfriend. Indeed. Avi's new girlfriend. I see the good in him. He made his promise and I'm sure he is intending to keep it. I breathed in a shaky sigh and looked down out of habit. "Hey..." I sweet voice whispered next to my ear. I felt a pair of fingers fiddle with my own before they completely laced with them. Avi gave a light squeeze to my hand. "They will love you." I looked at him and gave him a look, 'how did you know how I felt?' All he did was smile like a fool as we came to the middle of town and next to another well built glass like apartment complex.
